QUADS May 2010 show
Quartet:
four one-act comedies
The Box
Office is open (phone Marilyn on 01332 840518) for our Spring
show, from Weds 12th May to Sat 15th May 2010 and will be a set of
four one-act plays, two each directed by Jan and Vicki. The plays are:
The
Last Bread Pudding by Nick Warburton (comedy)
A Respectable Funeral by Jimmie Chinn (comedy)
+ two other one-act plays.

Rehearsal for the Last
Bread Pudding (cast member attached to spoon!)
The set is nearing
completion and rehearsals are starting on the main stage, following early
rehearsals downstairs and in the Joiners (what a hardship...). After a
successful trip with 11 QUADS people recently to see Kirk Langley Drama
Group effortlessly do two one-act plays and a number of sketches and musical
numbers in a much smaller hall, very entertaining (and they had an interval
bell...), I'm really looking forward to our show.
QUADS Quiz
Night - Saturday 17th April, 8pm
As a bit of light relief
from learning lines, Saturday 17th April at 8pm sees the return of the
famous QUADS Quiz Night returns organised by Debs. Teams of four, plus there
will be a Fish and Chip Supper from George’s (Debs will take orders well
beforehand - please ring Debs on 01332 553875). There will be a £2 charge on the door to cover hall hire costs
and there will be a raffle - if you can manage to bring anything to increase
the number of prizes, that'd be great!

procedure being carried out. He is corrupt and wealthy.
Lawyer Huld:A
sickly lawyer put on K. case by his uncle. He is a nice man but is under the
